Letter from DVLA - someone applying for V5C for a car i own

[sim16v]

I received a letter earlier this week from the DVLA telling me that they have received an application to record someone else as the registered keeper of one of my cars.

This car is in storage, so I phoned the DVLA to state that I was still the owner and keeper of the car.

They said if the car was not at my property, they were quite prepared to issue the V5C to the person who'd applied for the V5C, as they are the keeper.

I said they aren't responsible for registering and taxing the vehicle, so please do not issue a V5C.

They said they will ask for proof that the person on the application has the car, and if they do, they will issue the V5C

I have been unable to get in touch with anyone storing it and have been unable to get access to see my car.

Is there any way I can stop the DVLA doing this?

It screams to me that the car will be stolen and moved on, with the V5 being with it.
